Tom Ellis was initially amongst the substitutes - or the "finishers" as head coach Eddie Jones likes to call them - but suffered a knee injury in training and was replaced by ex-Bath lock Will Spencer on Thursday afternoon.

England will take on the BaaBaas at 3pm on Sunday head of their two-Test summer tour to Argentina.

Kahn Fotuali'i is at nine for the Barbarians, while Robbie Fruean and former Bath winger Horacio Agulla are on the bench.

Jones said: "I'm excited about this squad playing the Barbarians on Sunday. The players have trained really well with intensity over the last few weeks and now we need to put that onto the field this weekend.

"While we have some really experienced players starting the game there is a great opportunity for some of the younger players to show what they are about against a Barbarians team full of quality international players.

"We will be treating this game as a Test match (it is uncapped) and expecting the Barbarians to start the game quickly.

"This match will be crucial preparation ahead of our two-Test series against Argentina next month.
